MUSIC - Curriculum Intent

It is our intent that we make music an enjoyable learning experience. We encourage children to participate in a variety of musical experiences through which we aim to build up the confidence of all children.

Our teaching focuses on developing the children’s ability to understand rhythm and follow a beat. Through singing songs, children learn about the structure and organisation of music. We teach them to listen and to appreciate different forms of music.

We also teach technical vocabulary such as volume, pitch, beat and rhythm and encourage children to discuss music using these terms.
